Audience
This section of the Apache Traffic Server™ Manual is aimed at those individuals looking to
install and configure Traffic Server for use as a caching proxy server. The section
assumes basic knowledge of the command line and system administration tasks.
Detailed steps are provided on how to build and configure the software, so
even if you have never used a compiler or looked at a Makefile before, you
will find everything you need in the following chapters to get you up and
running with your own instance of Traffic Server. Or so is our hope.
Should you encounter problems, or find any of the instructions unclear or
lacking, please seek help through one of the avenues listed in
